The first thing I learned about this book was his name. His real name is David Robert Jones. He changed it because his idol was Mick Jagger, Jagger is a knife and David wanted to be like his idol so he changed Jones to Bowie which is also a knife. This is the information that I only learned in the first 2 pages of the second cahpter. If you think that is good read the rest. I gave this book 4 stars because it taught me a lot I need to know about David Bowie. The chapter organization helped me because it was in chronological order. People that I think would read this book are David Bowie fans and musicans. The things that stand out in my mind of this book is the fact that he was more then a musican. He manged his own website, he was an actor, and music producer. If you want to learn more about David Bowie read Rock and Roll Hall of Famers: David Bowie.
